      <p>
                 Sets the maximum number of locking entities supported by the Berkeley DB
                 environment.  This value is used by Berkeley DB  to estimate how much
                 space to allocate for various lock-table data structures.  
                 When using the DB, the default value is 2,000 lockers.
            </p>
      <p>
                The syntax of this parameter in the <a href="../../programmer_reference/env_db_config.html#env_db_config.DB_CONFIG" class="olink">DB_CONFIG</a> file is a
                single line with the string
                <code class="literal">set_lk_detect</code>, one or more whitespace
                characters, and the method <span class="bold"><strong>detect
                </strong></span>parameter as a string. The detect parameter
                configures the deadlock detector. The deadlock detector
                will reject the lock request with the lowest priority. If
                multiple lock requests have the lowest priority, then the
                detect parameter is used to select which of those lock
                requests to reject. 
            </p>
      <p>
                For example:
            </p>
      <pre class="programlisting">set_lk_detect DB_LOCK_OLDEST</pre>
      <p>
                Sets the deadlock detector such that the lock request for
                the locker ID with the oldest lock is rejected.
            </p>
